Report an occupational death or hospitalization

Public employers must report workplace fatalities and hospitalizations either by phone or email.

Public employers must report workplace fatalities within eight hours to the Public Employment Risk Reduction Program (PERRP). That includes heart attacks and motor vehicle accidents. All incidents resulting in a hospitalization, amputation or loss of an eye must be reported within 24 hours to PERRP.

To report a fatality

Call PERRP at 1-800-671-6858, and press option 1.

If you receive a voicemail, provide a contact name, phone number and the employer's name.
